After rebirth, my wife just wants to be a widow

When they were approaching Zhoucheng, Shen Ruoyan received news from Chun Niang.

The letter said that many of their shops have been suppressed one after another, and they hoped that Shen Ruoyan could go and take a look if she had time.

Shen Ruoyan understood Chun Niang's character. If it wasn't a big deal, she would never disturb her newlyweds. Now that Chun Niang has taken the initiative to write a letter, it means that the problem is serious.

The newly married two were inseparable, and Shen Ruoyan didn't want to be separated from Lu Yan.

Lu Yan originally wanted to accompany him, but seeing the rising prices in Yizhou, he couldn't let it go. Lu Yan had to return to Zhoucheng to take charge of the overall situation.

After some discussion, the two decided to split into two groups for the time being. One would go to Chun Niang's place to see what difficulties the shop had encountered, while the other would return to Zhoucheng to investigate the reasons for the rising prices.

After saying goodbye reluctantly, Shen Ruoyan put away her travels and traveled for a few days to arrive at Chun Niang's location.

The carriage drove into the city gate. There were newly renovated houses on both sides of the street, but there were only a few people walking on the road and there was no lively scene.

She found a good clothing store at the corner of the street. Before Shen Ruoyan stepped into the store, she heard sighing conversations coming from inside.

"Lady boss, what do you think we should do?"

"Yes, it's a pity that so much material is wasted like this."

"Who the hell is it that has resorted to such dirty and dirty methods! I curse him to annihilate his descendants!"

Shen Ruoyan quickened her pace and walked in. She saw several women in common clothes gathered in front of the warehouse, pointing inside and saying with a sad look on their faces.

At this time, Chun Niang happened to come out of the warehouse.

She frowned, and although she tried hard to restrain herself, she still couldn't hide the slight hesitation on her face.

Seeing Chun Niang like this, Shen Ruoyan's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly I remembered that a few years ago, the woman was squatting in the alley after her husband kicked her out of the house, feeling helpless about the future.

It's been a long time since Chun Niang had had such an expression on her face.

What on earth happened?

Seeing Shen Ruoyan approaching in a hurry, Chun Niang seemed to have found her backbone, her eyes suddenly shone, and she couldn't help but shout: "Miss."

Following Chun Niang's gaze, everyone turned their heads and looked at Shen Ruoyan.

I saw a bright girl appearing in their shop at some point.

She didn't dress up deliberately or make any exaggerated gestures. She just stood there quietly with a sweet smile on her face.But for some reason, everyone just couldn't bear to look away from her, always feeling that there was a unique charm that attracted them.

It wasn't until they learned Shen Ruoyan's true identity later that they realized that this was the unique temperament that had accumulated over time in the daughter of an aristocratic family.

Chun Niang walked over in a few steps, took Shen Ruoyan's hand and said, "You are finally here."

Doubts arose in everyone's mind.

How come their capable boss lady is standing in front of this beautiful girl like a little girl who has found her mother?

Shen Ruoyan put her backhand on Chun Niang's hand and asked, "What happened?"

Chun Niang pursed her lips, not knowing where to start. She took Shen Ruoyan's hand and led her to the warehouse. She pointed inside and said, "You'd better take a look for yourself."

Shen Ruoyan looked around, only to see bundles of fabrics neatly stacked inside. The clean and tidy warehouse was filled with a strong fishy smell.

Shen Ruoyan walked to a shelf, picked up the top piece of material and took a closer look. There was a large piece of dark brown on it. After shining it against the light, she determined that it was a piece of blood.

A piece of material in the warehouse was stained with such blood stains. No wonder it smelled so strong.

Seeing so many blood-stained fabrics, Shen Ruoyan became angry and couldn't help but raise her voice a bit and asked: "Do you know who did it?"

If you are not careful, you can only get blood stains on a few pieces of cloth. Every piece of cloth in the warehouse has such blood stains. It is obvious that someone did it deliberately.

Chun Niang nodded.

Before Chun Niang could open her mouth to explain, the women standing aside started pouring bitter words on Shen Ruoyan.

"Hey, you don't need to investigate this matter to know that it must have been done by the president of our cloth merchants' association!"

"Yes, they can't stand the fact that our shop sells cheap fabrics, and they are jealous of our shop's good business, so they resort to such unfair tactics."

"No, I'm going to find them right now. I have to risk my life to demand justice from them!"

"Okay, I'll go with you!"

"I am coming too!"

Seeing that everyone was getting more and more excited as they talked, Chun Niang hurried over and tried to calm everyone down with some earnest persuasion.

Pulling Shen Ruoyan into his room, he slowly told the whole story.

It turns out that prices here have also risen a lot during this time.

Seeing that everything in clothing, food, housing and transportation is becoming more and more expensive, Chunniang's store has always insisted on not raising prices, which has attracted many customers. Because the sales volume is relatively large, it does not lose money and makes a small profit. This can be considered a small profit but a quick turnover. .

Originally this was a good thing that benefited both buyers and sellers, but other shops could not tolerate such a thing.

They approached Chun Niang and asked her to triple the price of the ingredients like other families did.

Chun Niang knew that it was not easy for the people, and Shen Ruoyan originally asked her to come to Yizhou with the intention of expanding her business without making any money, so she never let go and always sold to the people at the original price.

This was deliberately suppressed by peers.

At first, they spread rumors, saying that the fabrics sold by Haohao Clothing Store were defective, and asked people not to buy from them, but this could not stop the good reputation that Haohao Clothing Store had accumulated.

People who had bought materials from their shop came forward one after another and vouched for the clothing store with their real experiences, saying that their materials were affordable and durable, and most importantly, the proprietress was sincere.

After such a wave of publicity, the business of the food shop was not affected at all, and instead became more prosperous.

Seeing that this trick had no effect, they used various dirty tricks to annoy Chun Niang.

With the purpose of treating people with sincerity, Chun Niang is a good hand in running a shop, but she can't resist the malicious competition among merchants. After being bullied for no reason for several times, Chun Niang is already exhausted physically and mentally.

Originally, she wanted to endure it, but recently similar things happened to several shops in Yizhou. Chun Niang really had no choice, so she sent a letter of distress to Shen Ruoyan.

"I'm really sorry. I really couldn't help it when something like this happened, so I wrote you a letter and disturbed you and Mr. Lu. I..." Thinking of the injustice she had suffered these days, Chun Niang couldn't help but shed tears in her eyes.
